Hi all.
Just installed v359.00 on my M18xR2.
Didn't really want to but the GPU's would not SLI in BO3 on 344.XX.
I've modded the driver file so it installed with my GPU's as I don't have standard.
But I cant get NVidia HD audio to install, I suspect it's because there's no device ID's for my laptop in that driver.
The HD audio INF file is different to the display file and I don't know how to find the correct ID's for my laptop.
Can anyone help with a link or something to get me through the first time.
Thanks to anyone who can help....

Do you need the HD Audio driver for anything in particular?.... In my experience it has not added any functionality, HDMI audio works without it (I assume that's what you want it for?)
I have never head of a modded inf for this driver.

Hi, thanks for the reply, only done limited driver modd's and was not sure of the details, my laptop hangs sometimes when I do a restart, only happens on a restart not cold boot, I thought it might have something to do with the HD audio drivers.

Thanks for your help.
